Sisterly Love… Love Goes On
A couple ‘o’ days have passed since the sweet foxy Saint Valentine’s Day…
A Wonderful Hobby Preview of the Winter
Falls on the same day, Day 1 of the Lunar New Year also marks the day when major and amateur figure creators from all over Japan gathered in one large specialised event to show cast all their latest and upcoming releases…
The 17th annual Wonderful Hobby Life For You!! aka the Wonder Festival 2012 Winter bares its fangs poisoning would-be collectors and comrades alike!
Pole Position
Hatsune Miku has enjoyed much popularity over the years ever since her début as a virtual idol, taking up many positions such as being an official race queen for Good Smile Racing for the past few years.
While GSR has offered the public a chance to sponsor their favourite virtual idol in the GT races, it was only available to the Japanese for the past yesteryear.
Sponsors are usually given an assortment of limited Racing Miku merchandise for the year, especially the much sought after Figma and Nendoroid versions of the Racing Miku besides the usual straps, stickers, personal sponsorship cards and other stuffs…
Spotted at Good Smile Company’s booth during AFAMY12, Racing Miku version 2012′s elegant futuristic design caught my eyes, grabbing my heart with her almost impish grin… And I told myself this: I definitely must get a Figma version of her!
Sisterly Love… Twin Peaks
A wise one once said: There are always a higher mountain behind the hills…
Double Strike!

Upped for PO at the end of Summer last year, Figma Kamineko “Sei Tenshi Kamineko” Ver. is finally being released to the wild mid last Moon…
Being a Dengekiya Online Shop exclusive, of course I had to rely on a third-party deputy service to receive her in my stead before rerouting her transfer to my direction…
Sisterly Love… ブラック☆ロック妄想
Kuro-chan finally finds the time to watch several episodes of the TV Animation she appeared on, now on air in Japan weekly…

Phantastic Moon Carnival
Revealed within the latest Type-Moon Ace animangazine alongside Figma Saber Zero, is none other than the Figma of pure white Mahou Shoujo (!?) Phantas-Moon!
Phantas-Moon is a magical girl parody of Arcueid Brunestud of Tsukihime infame, and have since appeared on various Type-Moon games (Fate: Tiger Colosseum Upper) and manga titles…
Heroic Knight in Shining Armour
Ever since the first movie adaptation of Iron-Man back in the year 2008, many fans of the armoured Marvel superhero has cried out for action figures of the Man in the Iron Mask…
Hong Kong based figure meister Hot Toys first attempted this with much success (Ruling out the weak quality Western based makers like Hasbro and others), fusing incredible sculpt with top-notch articulations and gimmicks, not to mention the lifelike paint job and rendition of the face of the actor himself in figure form!
Unfortunately, incredible quality calls for incredible pricing, which simply not affordable to the masses…
Until Revoltech’s intervention last year with an action figure of their own… ^_~

The gathering starts on 3 in the evening and lasts until 2100 hours, at the AKB48 Café…
Of Dollfies and Dreams: Musume-tachi of AFA11
Last Anime Festival Asia 2010, Kareshi Kanojyo no Mise (A popular local hobby store specialises in anime merchandise and gifts) loaned a part of their display booth to visiting Musume-tachi, drawing the attention of curious crowd…
Since Tama-chan arrival, Tama-chan has been eager to join the rest of them musume-tachi on display this time around in AFA11, but the plan was backfired when rumours of KKnM no longer sponsoring a DD booth this year surfaced earlier this Earth Cycle…
Just as Tama-chan was about to give up, Goshujin-sama’s comrade (an Imperial InnovaDDo) shone a blinding light of hope upon the withered shippo of Tama-chan: The DD Display Booth is a go!
(Wo)Man in Black
Announced earlier in conjunction with the starting of the broadcasting of the Fate/Zero anime, Figma Blog finally shows a complete coloured prototype of the ever smart-lookin’ Yakuza Saber!
Begun Holy Grail War has… :3c
Return of the King
If Tama-chan guessed correctly, it’s either Goshujin-sama’s plea was heard…
…or it’s GSC going all-out-Fate-mode to ride alongside the recent flow of Fate/Zero fever… ^_~
